#Quote
1[on why he no longer signs Back to the Future memorabilia] I've decided to do what I want to do in life, and follow my own path as an artist, so I've decided not to participate in any sort of nostalgia in which I'm marginalized as a pop icon of yesteryear. I no longer support in any way an insurmountable archetype, and now exclusively pursue the things that interest me.
2[on the appeal of Biff in the Back to the Future (1985) movies] People love the character because ultimately Biff is a failure. Biff doesn't win in the end, which is why people like him. He's this horrible guy throughout the movie, but you can be pretty confident that he's going to get slugged in the head and be unconscious at the end.
#Fact
1He made guest appearances on both Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993) and Superman (1996).
2Was once roommates with Sam Kinison and Andrew Dice Clay.
3Often received fanmail meant for Tom Wilson, creator of the Ziggy comic strip.
4Appeared in an episode of Psych entitled "Let's Get Hairy" and in a movie called Let's Get Harry (1986).
5As a recurring character on Ghost Whisperer (2005), he returned to the same set he acted on during the Back to the Future (1985) trilogy.
6Studied International Business at Arizona State University.
7Paints portraits of children's toys.
8Although he is probably best known for playing bully Biff Tannen in the Back to the Future (1985) trilogy, he is said to be a very nice man in real life who drew upon his own personal experiences of being bullied as a child to create the Biff persona.
9Children: Anna May, Emily, Gracie and Tommy.
